LG UBK80 4K Ultra HD HDR Blu-ray Player, Black & KabelDirekt 4K HDMI Cable & HDMI Cord with Full Metal Connectors - 1.5m - UK Version - Supports all features

LG UBK80 UHD Blu-ray PlayerI bought this player to partner an LG 4K TV in February 2019 after a major price reduction.The player is easy to set-up, simple to connect and gives a great picture and excellent sound quality.It is quiet in operation, whether playing Blu-ray discs (4K and HD), DVD discs or CD’s.The disc loading time is very reasonable, even with early Bu-rays which took ages on a previous player.I have the player connected through an Onkyo TX-NR646 AV Receiver playing through a Dolby 5.1 speaker set-up.The Onkyo is fed the expected Dolby surround track and the sound quality from the UHD disc of “The Greatest Showman” was just as stunning as the picture quality.Watching HD Blu-ray discs there is certainly a benefit from the upscaling done by the player, much better image quality than ‘off-air’ HD picture from Freeview or SkyHD.With the Player connected to an input on the Onkyo the Player turns on the ONKYO and the TV and selects the correct inputs. Everything works as it should until you eject the disc, then the Onkyo is switched to TV input and the TV sees no picture, until you close the drawer, when it switches back again.Connecting the Blu-ray player to an HDMI port on the TV is a bit better, the Onkyo is switched to TV mode and the Blu-Ray player sends the Dolby sound via the HDMI cable to the Onkyo. If the tray is open now you get a full white screen on the TV. This is a bit glaring in a typical darkened home cinema setting.I have contacted LG about this behaviour, they are of course blaming the rest of my equipment (!) but if I get any positive help, I will update this review.The Player Menu has Icons for Video’s, Photo’s and Music Media, but it cannot find Network Media Shares, the only Media Source supported seems to be USB. The Music player is half decent, it actually displays art work embedded in the files, but is not as slick as the Music Player on my Apple TV.

Excellent budget DVD player for the money with stunning quality when copuple with 65inch LG oled TV. Watching UHD wide dynamic range blue rays of planet earth is a real joy and the main reason for the purchase. Connnection was simple BUT beware in case you have the same issue I had...the TV failed to recognise the UHD blue ray correctly initially and I nearly sent the player back. HOwever the problem was a subtle one in that the HDMI lead was too long. (About 10ft) the signal gets corrupted Andy out of sink of this distance Andy a shorter lead instantly fixed the issue. Overall very happy with this basic player and the quality with an OLED TV.

This 4K uhd is a brilliant dvd. It arrived on time and well packed. This unit is easy to use and I didn’t really need the manual. The picture is clear crisp and well defined and the sound through my external amplifier is just fantastic. The unit has HDR10 which produces brilliant colours on a uhd LG tv screen. For the price I wholeheartedly recommend this UHD 4K player. All the reviews on different web sites also agree this is a great player. A couple of reviewers said the player was noisy but I have found this not to be the case. I give this player a strong five stars.

Upgrade from DVD recorder with HD upscale functionality the BluRay picture quality is stit much better & improves the overall output even playing DVDs.Simple to set up & use a very nice no frills unit for the money

After reading online reviews and on a tight budget i opted for this model.It has no smart features just a basic model but i have a smart tv so was ok with that but the picture quality is stunning and has good sound quality also overall i was very happy even thouth the 1st delivery went missing but was soon replaced by amazon.

It's the best value I could find and can be brilliant but sometimes it can be really loud. I discovered that this unfortunately is a feature of 4k players at the moment but this was next level loud xDIf you put cardboard under the disc drive it will cancel out a lot of the noise (you'll have to change these every few months)

This player is a good value for its price. It doesn't have top-of-the-line features like Dolby Vision, etc., but then it doesn't have a top-of-the-line price and doesn't require the most advanced audio/video equipment to enjoy it. It handles your Blu-rays in a pleasing, workman-like manner. The remote is small and can be a bit difficult if you have large fingers, but it's fully functional. An appreciably better player will cost much more than this one which handles everything just fine for me, so I'm quite satisfied with it.

Great picture and sound quality.. Great price (£89 paid)This unit routes to my LG OLED TV via a home cinema receiver.Picture & sound quality is truly great, both being routed to my Onkyo receiver via HDMI, with picture directed to the 55" OLED screen and Sound processed by the Onkyo, correctly identifying the relevant encoding process for the surround sound.Just wish there were more 4K blu-ray discs that match my taste in movies and music concerts etc.
